The people of South Carolina knew after Gov. Mark Sanford’s first term that he wasn’t capable of leading this state progressively and raising our status publicly, but like Bush, they re-elected him anyway. Now once again through his shenanigans, he has embarrassed the state, put his personal business before his constituents and left us vulnerable. Leaving the state unattended was reprehensible and unforgivable. We can no longer afford this governor’s “quirkiness.” If Gov. Sanford has the state’s best interest in mind, then he should do the prudent thing and resign immediately while he still has some dignity. We deserve so much more than he has given us.
